Grafting of nano-TiO2 onto flax fibers and the enhancement of the mechanical properties of the flax fiber and flax fiber/epoxy composite

Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2015
Abstract In this article, a flax fiber yarn was grafted with nanometer sized TiO2, and the effects on the tensile and bonding properties of the single fibers and unidirectional fiber reinforced epoxy plates were studied. The flax fiber yarn was grafted with nanometer sized TiO2 through immersion in nano-TiO2/KH560 suspensions under sonification.

Utilization of flax fibers for biomedical applications

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, 2013
AbstractOver the past decades, a large number of animal‐derived materials have been introduced for several biomedical applications. Surprisingly, the use of plant‐based materials has lagged behind. To study the feasibility of plant‐derived biomedical materials, we chose flax (Linum usitatissimum).

Flax fiber surface modifications: Effects on fiber physico mechanical and flax/polypropylene interface properties

Polymer Composites, 2005
AbstractThis study arises on the opportunities of using flax fibers as reinforcement for polypropylene (PP) matrix composites. For this purpose, untreated flax fiber bundles obtained by a retting process have been used. For improving compatibility between flax fiber bundles and PP matrix, fiber surface treatments such as maleic anhydride, maleic ...

Identification of Natural Bamboo Fibers and Flax Fibers

Advanced Materials Research, 2013
In this paper, the method based on the testing of the Fourier transform near infrared (NIR) spectra is proposed to identify natural bamboo fibers and flax fibers. The discrimination models between natural bamboo fibers and flax fibers are established by means of Ward’s algorithm and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis after the first derivative and vector ...

Effect of flax fiber orientation in carbon-flax fiber composite on tensile and visco elastic behavior

Engineering Research Express, 2023
Abstract This paper deals with the effect of Flax fiber orientations on the tensile and viscoelastic response of Carbon/Flax hybrid composite. The composite laminates were prepared by varying flax fiber orientations of [0°4F/0°1C]1, [+30°2F/0°1C/−30°2F]1, [+45°2F/0°1C/−45°2F]1, [+60°2F/0°1C/−60°2F]1, and [+75°2F/0°1C/−75°2F]1 using the ...

Oxidative Delignification of Flax Fiber

Russian Journal of Applied Chemistry, 2003
Oxidative delignification of flax fiber at 98°C was studied. The intermediate material was produced in moderate yield with high degree of delignification. The optimum conditions of the process were determined.

Fiber flax in oregon

Economic Botany, 1949
Russia, Poland and the Baltic countries account for about 90% of the world’s production of fiber flax, and prior to 1940, 90% of the raw fiber used in the United States was imported from Europe. Today domestic production in the Willamette Valley of Oregon represents a $3 million dollar industry.
